Notes on Camp: Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (Jane Schoenbrun, 2026)
Before we begin, fair warning: This is a post about sex. Before we continue, an even fairer, more specific warning: This is a post where I talk about how I have sex. I talk about my body, and how I f...

Tim Curry reminded us that ANYTHING can happen on Halloween.
Every single piece of trans history is a blaring klaxon telling us: We can't rip ourselves apart, we must put our preternatural prickliness aside, we can and should disagree greatly but our futures are linked and the stakes are too great, we must figure that out no matter the emotions it raises.
“I’m glad to see your weight’s down. It’s likely your meds [hrt] are helping with that, as well as, uh, other things.”

He's a primary aesthetic influence of this trans new wave that we are seeing. These filmmakers are not copying him, but working alongside his aesthetic ideas in a spiritual manner (the fantasia of People's Joker, the Inland Empire-esque nightmare of CM2, Schoenbrun's dysphoric otherworlds)
Willow Catelyn Maclay@willowcatelyn.bsky.social · last mo.A lot of Trans people like Lynch bc his films are situated in a strange liminal place of reality and an abstracted alternate reality and they phase between one another. The inbetweenness is welcoming & potentially synonymous to a quotidian low-humming dysphoria. A wrongness that many of us recognize
Peter Falk sketching in his Beverly Hills home in 1984.
RIP Sam Neill. We talk a lot about Isabelle Adjani’s terrifying & layered powerhouse performance in POSSESSION. Neill is just as seismic. Made me never want to be put in a situation where i gotta get divorced. Whole thing really feels like watching someone kill it all over love.
Anyway, Wendy Carlos is still alive and that's wonderful 💜
marriage is really funny and fun i feel like if you have the opportunity to try it you should. also it’s one thing the queer theorists were absolutely right about and no matter how woke you are it’s gonna eat you alive with compulsory heterosexual narratives and it sucks shit
important to revisit the words of the Founding Fathers on this day
At my most hopeful, I like to think I’m living in a way that, when I croak someday, people will sigh and say “she was a complicated woman.”
Okay, my ACTUAL take on all this transsexual Discourse™ is that we never should’ve stopped calling ourselves “sex changelings.”
This is 47. I embody Summerween. Turned in edits on RAVENFIELD HALL yesterday (Gothic Historical Young Adult Romance inspired by du Maurier + lots of ghosts) so you should pre-order it as YOUR present for MY birthday! (25% off via B&N until tomorrow! 🖤) tinyurl.com/ravenfieldbn Pre-orders = Love!
being a trans woman on a day to day basis really is wild,, it's like vacillating between "it's so over, i'll be dead by 2030" and "i'm literally the hottest woman alive, i already killed god, i created the big bang, i can literally fuck spacetime so hard that the gravity waves will hit andromeda"
The best superhero is Swamp Thing because sometimes Swamp Thing wanders around a planet a galaxy away as he has an existential debate with a copy of himself he made out of azure soil and sometimes Swamp Thing fights dracula at a gas station

Watching BOUND is a bad idea when you are a lesbian finally considering getting back into the dating pool because it gives you ideas like “buxom women will love me more if i get greasier and better at stealing”
This is correct. They are arguing that because trans people have now had so many rights taken away (thanks to them) no-one should be allowed to transition because they'd then have fewer rights.
The Newromancer@tehsamantha.bsky.social · 3mo agoI believe Sex Matters are already using that exact logic to push further restrictions on our rights. Like saying that because trans people are inherently excluded from everywhere we shouldn't even be given pathways to transition because we transition into a state where we have less rights
some of Werner Herzog's advice for filmmakers from his Heart of Glass post-screening Q&A: "Look out - where are the enemies, spot the enemies." "Form gangs, form rogue cells, form it, and go out and do it." and the storyboard is "the instrument of the coward."
